I'm wondering why don't you simply enable UDP_GRO on the relevant
socket?

The bug is arguably in bpf_skb_proto_6_to_4(), even if fixing it in
skb_segment_list() is possibly easier.

Mintor nit: please respect the reverse x-mas tree order.

This does not look correct ?!? the network hdr position for nskb will
still be uncorrect?!? and even the mac hdr likely?!? possibly you need
to change the offset in skb_headers_offset_update().
